Machia voted for Trump, drawn by promises of border control and national security. “We didn’t want drugs or gangbangers,” he said. But what he didn’t expect was losing some of his most dedicated employees to immigration arrests.

“It’s scaring the farming community,” Machia admitted. “We didn’t think they’d come for the people who help us milk cows.”

LOL. Idiots

Or, you know, they could offer good wages and benefits to attract legal workers and charge enough for the milk to cover their costs. I'm lactose intolerant anyway, I don't care if milk and cheese become a little more expensive. But I know, my idea is crazy.

Sounds like he just incriminated himself from his own illegal business practices, lock him up!

The problem here is those farmers will now want to charge more. Even though their labor cost just went down.

The US can just import more food!

Oh, wait.

This is the kind of thing that made me realise how much a urban being I am.
The way, I'm imagining a farmer, at least the one with milk farm is a guy waking before the sun because he must milk the cows at 4 a.m.

yeah but before it was those dirty mexicans waking up at 4 am to work, not Real Americans©! This is bullshit!

Even though Machia says he would still vote for Trump, the recent crackdown has prompted a deeper reckoning within his community

Umm, okay, no sympathy then. Burn.

Imagine being so dedicated to a politician/political party that you’re no willing to make a change that costs you 0$ to save your family business

So you are... Checks notes 2200 miles away from the border. I feel like even if we disregard them voting for trump and just judge them based on that being their main voting issue, they're dumb as fuck, aren't they?

The guy is worried about gangs, yet lives in rural Vermont. What a fucking idiot.

It is kinda crazy how easy it seems to convince people the safest time in American history is the most dangerous.

No he's near the Canadian border, which he was told was a major route for fentanyl.

Never understimate the power of bigotry as a political motivator, in particular among the uneducated. Trump and his oligarch cronies certainly doesn't.

oh no, you lost access to the people you were viciously exploiting because of your racism?

well boo fucking hoo

You have to be a unique kind of stupid to profit from illegal labour and vote to have illegals deported.

Yeah, that's too bad. ANYWAY . . .

Sometimes it feels like being happy that Trumpers are suffering is like cheering when a disease dies with the host. It's a momentary happiness that the Balrog fell... milliseconds before you realize it's pulling you down with it.

What it actually is is that they have strapped us all (including themselves) to the flaming wreckage of our nation that they themselves created, and have been laughing maniacally as it plummets from the sky, while the rest of us scream in terror.

Now they are starting to scream in terror, and I'm just about ready to start with the maniacal laughter.
